Top 100 youngsters in the world list (2001) Reviewed
Looking through the classic forum and found the old top 100 youngsters thread from 2001, almost exactly 7 years on I thought it would be interesting to review their progress.
I decided to split it up into 4 categories:
World Class
Decent Career
Below Expectations
and Failed
Read "decent" as "very good"
I haven't heard of alot of these players this obviously means they haven't achieved a great deal but may be having decent careers in other countries so if you have any information post it and I will edit the list accordingly.
